D:Recovery folder is missing
I have a 2 year-old HP desktop and a 9 month-old HP laptop. Desktop came with Vista, and laptop with Win 7 64. Yesterday I finally got around to making Recovery disks for the laptop, which worked perfectly. I then went to the desktop unit and tried to do so and found that the D: Recovery folder that I remembered it having originally was not there and the C: drive now shows "C-HP(C)", D: drive is now Programs, etc. There is no recovery partition anymore. Attempts to make Recovery Disks just takes me to links to HP for finding such disks, and a futile search because of the missing D:Recovery folder. I did install (upgrade) to Win 7 32 when it first became available last Oct. Is this the reason for the change and loss of the D:Recovery folder? Is my only 'recovery' option the using of the Win 7 upgrade disk? Your thoughts and information appreciated.
